Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 20, 2018 at London University Hospital at the age of 53.

Beloved wife of Don McLaren for 4 years. Cherished sister of Colleen Fitzgerald, Maureen (Bert) Wervers, Christine (Claude) Carriere, Ronald Jr. (Beverly) Fitzgerald, Linda (John) MacLeod and Shawn Fitzgerald. Predeceased by her parents Ronald and Marielle Fitzgerald and her brother Kevin Fitzgerald. She will be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews and friends.

Cathy had a sharp wit and an infectious sense of humor and lit up any room she was in. She loved to sing and had the voice of an angel. We took for granted her gift of song for our family gatherings and now we are left to wonder; “who’s going to fill her shoes”. The choir in heaven is rejoicing with their new addition. She touched the lives of so many people with her sense of humor, her giving nature and her loving presence. We all know you are at peace now with Mom and Dad.

Funeral Mass will be held at St. Anthony Daniel Roman Catholic Church, 29 Midland Dr., Kitchener, on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. followed by a small reception at the Parish Life Centre for family and friends.
